Yes, but we are scaling back. Our focus has shifted to collaboration and coalition building through our nonprofit arm, Prime For Change (PFC). Instead of responding to 10 or 20 requests at a time, we are prioritizing targeted outreach with select partners to maximize impact. Over the past decade, Prime/our President has built strong connections to create award-winning programs, and we are channeling those efforts into driving meaningful change.

We’re evolving to work less but reach more—starting in the Chicagoland area and soon expanding to Detroit. Learn more about our mission and collaboration opportunities at www.primeforchange.org

It depends. Prime has a preference to work with firms with a valuation of $1M or more or established firms with a CLEAR history of past performance. We can only help if you meet the qualifications outlined in the proposal. If you don't have a history of past performance, proper credentials (EIN, DUNS, SAM CAGE Code, references, business certifications), you may have to delay your response or we do not recommend you proceed with applying for an opportunity at this time. We only choose to work with business professionals who understand the undertaking of the RPF, bid, or grant they are pursuing.

Integrity is key! If there's any question, Prime simply WILL NOT work with you. To work with Prime, if selected, your point of contact MUST be professional, responsive, and serious about undertaking your new venture. We handpick each client we prefer to work with and we walk you through every stage of the business process. Remember, we aren’t just writing for you, we are including you as part of the process. Now, it is our fiduciary duty to recommend a course of action that makes sense. If you are interested in bidding on a solicitation completely out of your range, we will advise you accordingly.

If you are selected to work with Prime, for grants you typically have to complete a fact finding for your opportunity. We cannot simply draft a response for you—you must provide the necessary content for us to build upon. Your active involvement is essential; without it, we cannot develop a strong submission. There are no shortcuts in this process.

Prime is evolving in 2025. We are writing less grants and focusing more on collaboration through our new nonprofit, Prime For Change. Learn more at www.primeforchange.org.

We provide consultations by appointment only. We no longer publish our calendar due to the volume of requests we receive. Our offices are closed on weekends and all holidays. Please no work texts or calls on Saturdays and Sundays or after 8 PM CT. If you are an established and revenue generating firm, please submit a contact us request. Upon reviewing your request, if there's interest, we will follow up with you.

At our technical writing and design firm, we take immense pride in serving clients across all U.S. cities, as well as extending our expertise and services to the vibrant locales of the Caribbean. With a commitment to excellence and a team of skilled professionals, we cater to a diverse range of industries and organizations, providing them with top-notch technical writing solutions and innovative design services.

Whether you are a large corporation or a small business, located in bustling urban centers or tranquil Caribbean destinations, our firm is dedicated to delivering exceptional quality, tailored to meet your unique needs and exceed your expectations. Embracing the richness of cultural diversity and the dynamic spirit of each region, we aim to foster lasting partnerships and empower our clients to thrive in their endeavors.

At Prime, we have a distinct preference for collaborating with companies that demonstrate substantial potential, with a valuation over $1 million. We understand that such firms are poised for growth and have ambitious goals, and we are eager to support their endeavors through our expertise in technical writing and design.

Various organizations hire bid and grant writers, including nonprofit organizations, government agencies, educational institutions, research centers, and private businesses seeking funding for specific projects or initiatives.

As a successful writing and design firm, we are passionate about making a meaningful impact and contributing to the greater good. For this reason, we actively seek partnerships with nonprofits that boast a history of past performance in their respective fields.

By teaming up with nonprofits that have proven their dedication and effectiveness, we believe our services can help amplify their missions and drive positive change in the communities they serve.

Now, we do help firms and nonprofits with incorporation, from start to finish, but you must be able to handle the speed at which we work. Our commitment to excellence remains unwavering, regardless of the size or structure of the organizations we work with, as we aim to deliver exceptional solutions that align with their specific objectives and values.

For 2023, our success rate is at 87% and even higher at 89% in 2024. Our rate is high because our President cherry picks the projects she’ll take on. If we don’t think we can win it, we WILL NOT WRITE IT.

Typically, most successful technical writers range from 30%-65%. Writers with an incredibly high rate usually write very little grants or respond to fewer bids. Question proposal and grant writers with an irresponsibly high success rate. Ask to see their wins, along with their portfolio of projects. In 2022 alone, we've written over $93M in awards (this includes multiple year awards of 3-5 years). Many are still pending and even more results will be posted.

Keep in mind that we do not control the final outcomes. Our focus is on diligently meeting NOFO and solicitation requirements to achieve a competitive score. Success depends on a combination of pricing and budget, past performance, capacity, and fulfilling all rubric criteria. Ultimately, you must be selected to win—no one can or should guarantee ANY outcome.

At Prime, we do not calculate or provide an average grant award amount. Our work spans a diverse range of projects, including writing Requests for Proposals (RFPs) and grants for both for-profit and nonprofit organizations. The scope of our proposals, bids, and contracts varies significantly—some are very large-scale, multi-year awards. For example, securing a $30 million Department of Defense (DoD) or security contract would not be a fair metric for determining an average grant amount compared to a small community-based nonprofit. Our numbers will be greatly overinflated.

The funding awarded depends entirely on the capabilities, qualifications, and industry of each client. Since every client’s situation is unique, we do not guarantee funding or award securement. Instead, success depends on the client’s ability to meet the necessary qualifications and be selected through the competitive process.

We understand that crafting successful proposals is crucial for your organization's growth and impact. Our goal is to collaborate closely with you to develop comprehensive and compelling responses to RFPs and grant opportunities.

Our first step is to conduct a thorough needs assessment to understand your organization's unique goals, mission, and specific requirements. By delving into the details of your projects and objectives, we can tailor our approach to align with your vision.

Next, we send a contract for the agreed upon terms, prices, and timelines. Upon signing the contract, payment is due in full upfront for projects under $10K and over $10K, a deposit with monthly payments may be made, contingent upon creditworthiness.

We value open and transparent communication. Throughout the onboarding process, we engage in active dialogue, keeping you informed about our progress and seeking your valuable input. Your feedback is invaluable as we work together to fine-tune the proposals.

At Prime, we take the protection of intellectual property (IP) seriously, both for our own creations and our clients' work. In line with this commitment, we do not provide samples of our work as it could potentially be duplicated or misused. Our priority is to ensure the confidentiality and security of all materials produced by our team.

Rest assured, we have a strict policy in place to safeguard the privacy of our clients' proprietary information and maintain the confidentiality of our projects. We understand the importance of trust in our business relationships and endeavor to maintain the highest standards of integrity and professionalism.

While we cannot share specific samples, we are more than happy to showcase our expertise through our portfolio. Feel free to view our portfolio page online today.

Modifications are not included in our initial technical writing fee. We adhere to a transparent billing policy where we charge for additional work based on the time and level of effort (LOE) required for the requested modifications. Our aim is to provide accurate and comprehensive technical writing services while ensuring fairness in billing for any changes beyond the scope of the original project. Funders and grantors typically ask for modifications and/or changes and ANY additional work incurs a fee.

Again, as part of our standard billing policy, any modifications, revisions, or new writing requests made after the completion of the original project SHALL be subject to separate charges.
